We have learned a lot about chiggers in the last year!. They are almost microscopic!. They don't suck your blood!. They go for places where the skin is thin - ankles, hips, knees!. They do not bury themselves inside you!. They don't lay eggs under your skin!. They bite and suck out your tissue which theiy liquify with an enzyme!. They make a "straw" ( called a stylostome) which they use to withdraw the tissue!. It is the "straw" which itches!. It can't not be pulled out or scratched off!. It takes 4 days to 2 weeks to fade away!.
The only hope is to take a warm bath after being in an outdoor area where chiggers are!. There is no lotion and no cure once you are bitten!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
